SIMPLE SHELL

Overview

Welcome to my shell program. I've titled this shell aweshell because it's awesome!!!

This project is a part of my education at ALX SE. My task was to create a shell program from scratch in C.

As a result, I have tried my best to use as little of the C standard library as possible.

The project comprises of several files which contain functions that aid the operation of the shell. A lot of the functions are my personal implementation of common functions in the C library.

Installation

On linux the project can be compiled using gcc via

gcc *.c -o aweshell

Usage

./aweshell

aweshell$ echo "hello world"
hello world

Commands Handled

The shell currently supports common shell commands like echo, cp, rm, mv etcetera and built-in like exit and env. Variable replacement and Comments are also handled.

aweshell? echo $USER # Welcome to my shell
aweayo

However, the following commands are supported yet

• Change Directory - cd
• Command Seperators - ;
• Logical Operators - &&, ||
• alias
• setenv and unsetenv
